Before first use
Installation
• An authorised person must install this appliance
and MUST provide a Certificate of Compliance.
This certificate should be retained along with
purchase information.
• Before using the appliance, ensure that all packing
materials are removed from the appliance.
• In order to avoid any potential hazard, the installation
instructions in this booklet, and any labels on the
appliance must be followed.
• Ensure that all specified vents, openings and air
spaces are not blocked.
• Where the appliance is built into a benchtop,
the benchtop material must be capable of
withstanding 85 C.
• Ensure that the duplicate rating label (in the
instruction pack) is attached to a readily accessible
adjacent surface, so that the cooktop can be easily
identified in the case of a service call.
Servicing
• Servicing MUST only be carried out by authorised
personnel.
• To maintain safe operation, it is recommended that
the product be inspected every five years by an
authorised service person.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Cleaning
• Always ensure the appliance is turned off before
cleaning.
• This appliance contains aluminium fittings. Do not
use caustic based cleaners.
• Do not use steam cleaners as this may cause
moisture build up on electrical components.
• Always clean the appliance immediately after any
food spillage.
• Do not place any components in a dishwasher.
• Refer to page 10 for care and cleaning instructions for
stainless/ ceramic hob panel.
CAUTION!
Do not place burners or trivets in a dishwasher.
Controls
Each burner is controlled by a control knob. The markings
on the control panel indicate which burner the knob
controls, and the setting for that burner (see Figure 4).
Lighting burners
Electronic ignition: These cooktops are fitted with mains
powered ignition. When the appliance has been connected
and the power is on, depressing any knob will release
sparks to all burners.
Dual wok burner
NOTE Gas controls turn anticlockwise from ‘OFF’ and have
limited movement.
CAUTION!
• Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.
• If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob
to ‘OFF’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try
lighting again.
• Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’
and ‘LOW’ settings only. It is recommended not
to operate the dual wok burner in the area with
dotted graphics.
To light a burner, the knob must be turned to the
‘HIGH’ position, then pushed down as far as possible for
approximately 5 seconds. If the fl ame goes out when
the knob is released simply depress the knob again, this
time holding it down with slightly more force for the same
length of time.
The height of the flame can be varied by turning the
control knob toward the ‘LOW’ position.
Both rings of wok
burner operate in
this range of knob
rotation
Only the inner ring
of the wok burner
operates in this range
of knob rotation
Note that the dotted
line section of the
graphics is the
transition between
operating zones. It is
recommended not to
leave the knob in this
position

9
Note! When the wok burner is turned to low only the smal
inner ring stays lit. This is a normal function of the dual wok
burner to provide a very low power flame option.
In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition
directly to the burner with a hand held ignition source.
Choice of burner
For your convenience there is a choice of burners:
• A small burner for special low heat and slow cooking.
• A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering
(one on the four burner models and two on the five
burner models).
• A large burner for fast heating and large pots and
pans.
• A wok burner for very fast heating using a wok or
large pot or pan. This wok burner is also a “dual”
burner and therefore results in a small low powered
fl ame when the burner is turned down. This is
achieved by only supplying gas to the inner ring of the
wok burner. To conserve gas place the pan centrally
over the burner and adjust the fl ame so that it does
not extend past the edge of the pan (Figure 5). Do
not boil food too rapidly. A vigorous boil will not cook
food any faster, and will waste energy. Pots and pans
All common pots and pans; aluminium, stainless
steel, cast iron, ceramic, etc., may be used on your
new gas cooktop. Ensure that the pots or pans are
steady and have fl at bases to avoid dangerous spill-
over of hot liquids and wasted energy.
CAUTION!
Never use asbestos mats, wire mats or grids,
or aluminium foil as it can lead to overheating,
cracked enamel or broken glass. The warranty will
be void if these items are used and cause a failure.
Woks should only be used on the wok burner and
wok support trivet (refer to Figure 3 on page 7).
Incorrect – flame too high
and will cause gas waste
and possible handle
damage.
For a large burner, use
a large utensil.
Correct flame height.
Gas saved.
For a small burner,
use a small utensil.
